    Holy audiophile shit! Pardon my French. :rofl:

    I once read about a *60* year old guy on Gearslutz who was supposedly able to hear a difference between the masters played from different hard disks. 60 year old guy can't hear shit past 10kHz if he's lucky. :rofl:

    Humans just can't stop surprising me with their stupidity. But hey - it makes life more entertaining in some cases. :) I mean it's not funny when somebody with an intelligence of an amoeba [no offence intended to amoebas] becomes a president of the country, for instance. :sad:

    Nice post! Thanks! It feels great waking up, drinking coffee and almost sharting myself from laughter! :rofl:

    Cheers everybody and cheers to the best audio forum on the Internet! :cheers:

    Was that me? Where am I, at AudioSex, Gearslutz or The Unofficial Martin Guitar Forum? Please speak up, I can't hear you. :mates:

    Don't forget: Only in "HIFI enhanced air"™ sound waves travel as they are intended to. Listening with normal grade quality air will never lead to true aural satisfactory results. :guru:

    Still no better than a SATA SSD for audio.

    Thaaaaat's.....pretty f**ing stupid. :)

    Treat power issues externally. Buy a stellar PSU, mobo and case.

    When somebody mentioned "audiophile rocks" I was sure it was a Shakti Stone reference.

    $230 gets you this thing that promises, among others, more horsepower out of electric engines:

    PC power supplies introduce noise from "dirty" current and from its own cheap design. That noise generates and piles up trough tracks, its embedded in audio when you render etc.
    This is why its good to invest more money for a better power supply.

    I truly hope you're kidding here.

    A power supply, as long as it provides enough current and stable enough voltage can not, I repeat, can not influence anything in the digital realm.

    The power supply noise and ripple should be bellow noise threshold.
    There were measurements done on wave files processed trough the daw with a cheap and a quality power supply.
    Noise was evidently visually detectable with analyzers and heard as digital noise, artifacts that should not be there.
    The more times you render a track the more it piles up.

    Sorry, I call bullshit on this one.

    If a PSU could cause these things, they would certainly affect more than just your DAW.

    Meaning: all data passing through your computer would be corrupt. No chance of storing your files intact, the way you interface with the network would be fucked.

    Either your DAW or your method of measurement is just plain wrong.

    Measurements were done by experts with professional monitoring and lab analyzers.
    You can not expect miracles from a 10$ power supply, this is what it costs to make a cheap PSU that costs around 30-40$ in the store.
    Of course it affects more than just your daw, your components suffer and break faster.
    Corrupt is not the right word. Digital noise. It is there, it just depends how much it passes trough, it depends on the quality of your psu, motherboard, how dirty your electricity is....

    What is proven by my listening experience is that the special way audio files are re-written on HD can enhance the quality of reproduction.
    See 'Rewrite Data' [last rev. 3.82 - free] by Hiroyuki Yokota (the author of 'Bug Head Emperor' player).

    The proof is simple. Try it.

    Ok, let me get this straight, no other component suffers from this, right? Your CPU/GPU runs in the GHz range, RAM frequency is in MHz, various busses shuffle bits around measured in GB/sec.

    Audio is in kHz.

    If any of these would have "digital noise" then your computer would not work. Period. Audio is not magically separate from these.

    This is not to say that a good PSU isn't a good investment, you don't want to constrain power to your mainboard or wear down the capacitors, sure. But it will not affect audio none.

    I have never heard that a PSU can affect any DAW or anything audio related. Unless you have like a noisy psu and you plan on making your PC case a recording booth, I will never believe such BS like this PSU thing and that bs SSD
